you mean bored out to 4.0?

why would it cost that much more? granted, you'll have to disassemble pretty much the whole motor so you can get the cyls bored out, but you can order a set of pistons in nearly any size, deck height, dished, domed, ring variances, etc. your basic turbo/supercharger will run you around 5k for a kit.
I couldnt see the machine work and new pistons costing much more than that.
one thing to keep in mind tho is if you enlarge the pistons and bore the cyls, you will be changing the compression ratio, so you might want to get appropriate pistons to match.
the only thing that will cost the most is the time spent doing all of it.
but I could see the torque jumping a bit
